Topical corticosteroid use for atopic dermatitis in the pediatric emergency department

Pediatric Dermatology Apr 22, 2021

Wang JF, Young TK, Melnick LE, et al. - This retrospective chart review was conducted at the pediatric emergency department (PED) of a single institution and analyzed data from 2012 to 2017 to examine the evaluation and management of atopic dermatitis (AD) in the PED. A total of 335 visits from patients 18 years and younger coded for AD were included, with 167 visits having documented findings that supported a diagnosis of AD according to American Academy of Dermatology guidelines. The majority of patients who presented to the PED for AD were either not prescribed topical corticosteroids (TCS) or were prescribed a weak TCS, often over‐the‐counter. While there could be a number of explanations for these findings, it is possible that they point to a practice gap in AD management in the PED.
